Chapter 279 is actually a fake!
However, people always have different ideas. Most people in Tianxuan Pavilion expressed satisfaction and obedience to this arrangement, but a few people did not think so. If they worked for the court, wouldn’t they be the court’s lackeys?
The court is the court. No matter who is the emperor, they will not be able to change the fact that the people are exploited. They will never go along with the corruption.
Even if Jia explained to them again and again, things are different now. With the assistance of a visionary like Lin Shiqi, the Kingdom of Dayu will surely have a new look.
But these people do not agree, and their ideas are difficult to change.
There is no choice but to go our separate ways.
No matter which path we take, our ideas do not conflict with each other, so we can part ways in peace. So let's have a farewell drink here.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and those who need to set off should also set off.
At this moment, a young man walked towards the door of the tavern. He was originally a person eating here, and he arrived earlier than Jiayi and the others.
But Jia stopped him.
"Brother, please stay!"
The man stiffened, turned around, and forced a smile:
"Are you calling me, my good man?"
A nodded.
"You've been listening to us for quite some time. What do you want to do now?"
The man laughed dryly:
"You are joking, my friend. I am eating here, so I am not disturbing you, am I? If you want to talk, I can't cover my ears! Now that I have finished my meal, I will naturally go back. What do you mean by calling me?"
First A:
"You look familiar to me, have we met before?"
A trace of panic flashed across the young man's eyes, but it was gone in an instant, and he said calmly:
"I was just passing by here. Did you recognize the wrong person?"
"Wrong person?"
Jiayi smiled jokingly, stood up, and walked over slowly.
"You probably forgot what we do! Your trick of covering up may fool others, but not me!"
The young man was startled and stepped back slowly, saying to himself:
"What am I hiding? Don't bully the weak. Luohan Temple is not far from here. Don't mess around!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several men rushed over.
The man turned and ran away.
But there was no way he could outrun the people from Tianxuan Pavilion, and he was quickly caught.
Jia Yi brought a pot of wine forward, poured the wine on the man's face, and then rubbed it hard.
The man struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Soon, a new face appeared in front of everyone.
Jia Yi looked at him and smiled.
"Isn't this General Zhou? I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect you to come here in person today to check things out! Tell me, how should I entertain you?"
This person is Zhou Qinan!
At this moment, he was so scared that his face turned pale and his body trembled slightly. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Why did he appear here? The story goes back more than ten days.
Ever since that shocking incident in the court, he was so scared that he ran away. He couldn't go back to the fake prince, nor did he dare go back to Prince Gong's mansion. He could only hide in the mountains.
The pain of such days was beyond words, but what was even more painful was his heart. He never expected that the prince he had been relying on and currying favor with was actually a fake!
No wonder the fake prince looked different before and after, and he even said that the old emperor liked his previous appearance, so he deliberately made some changes. It turned out that they were all trying to fool him!
No wonder he was suddenly and inexplicably murdered when he was so proud and high-spirited in his previous life!
That's because I saw the fake prince with my own eyes! If he talks about this with others in the future, won't it be possible that he will be exposed?
With such a fatal loophole, how could this group of people allow me to continue living? Of course, the best thing to do is to kill me!
He also talked about marrying the princess to him, which must be to lower his guard.
During the days of hiding, Zhou Qinan figured out a lot of things. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he was shaking with anger.
But it's of no use.
He has no ability to take revenge.
Besides, there was no need for him to take revenge because his enemy was already dead, having been executed in public at Caishikou.
And the person he has been fighting and suppressing is now the Grand Tutor and Grand Master!
Being so high up, he couldn't even meet her.
This is truly a matter of great sadness and indignation.
But life must go on, what should he do in the future?
Hide your identity and go to the countryside to teach some children?
Or join a landlord's family, become an unknown legal advisor, and live a dull life?
This is not what he wants.
Others were high and mighty, doing whatever they wanted, bossing people around, enjoying endless wealth and glory, but he had to swallow his anger like a mouse, hiding from place to place? When he thought about this kind of life, he felt it was impossible and he couldn't do it.
He should at least be a superior person, right?
After thinking about it, he decided that this was actually possible, and the key lay with Old Man Zhou.
Old Man Zhou has always liked him and favored him. As long as he goes back and cries and expresses his regret, Old Man Zhou's heart will soften and he might even agree to let him return to the Zhou family.
By that time, Zhou Lang and his wife could no longer call for his death.
Then, he could slowly plot his plans. His uncle and aunt were both high-ranking officials, so his nephew didn't need to do anything. Naturally, someone would come to curry favor with him, and it would be easy for him to get a small official position.
His uncle and sister-in-law were powerful people in the capital, while he was just a minor official in the local area. They had nothing to do with each other, and he could accept this kind of life.
The plan has been decided, and the next step is how to approach Old Man Zhou.
There is a key point here. He must meet with Old Man Zhou in private first and gain his forgiveness before he can proceed to the next step.
Old Man Zhou is in the palace now, so he can't see him, but this country guy might not be used to living in that kind of palace. After the novelty wears off, he will probably return to Tianxuan Pavilion.
He couldn't enter Tianxuan Pavilion either, as there should be many people who knew him inside. But this didn't bother him. If Yan Xin could pretend to be the prince, he could do the same!
So he put on makeup, changed his appearance, and waited at the intersection every day, hoping that Old Man Zhou would pass by.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Zhou didn't show up, but a group of people from Tianxuan Pavilion came to have a drink.
He originally wanted to leave quickly, but was worried about being too conspicuous, so he forced himself to remain calm and continue eating. He could also listen to what these people were saying, and maybe even hear any news about Old Man Zhou.
But after listening for a long time, the flaw was discovered.
What do these people do?
Impersonation, lurking, eavesdropping, and assassination are all their expertise. How could a half-baked person like Zhou Qinan hide the truth from them?
At the critical moment, Zhou Qinan finally thought of a plan. He hurriedly said:
"You can't kill me! I am actually a member of the Zhou family. Zhou Lang and Lin Shiqi are my uncle and aunt!"
